Infinite war begins with Cao thief

Chapter 156: Unstoppable (more updates with monthly tickets)

Jia Xu's march was indeed upright and without any conspiracy.

The main goal is to crush an army.

Poor Xu Huang was protected by Hanzhong, where Jia Xu stayed, because he was calm and steady.

Jia Xu carefully warned Xu Huang that everything should focus on defense and stability. When the defense is foolproof, he can command the Wudang Feijun and Nanman Army who are good at mountain warfare and wait for opportunities to harass Chencang Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road, and Ziwu. Valley to contain Chang'an's troops. If the enemy in Chang'an is on guard, just contain them; if they are not on guard, they can set up camp on the ancient road.

Jia Xu personally supervised the 400,000 elite main force and 100,000 Qiang and Hu servants, soldiers, food and grass, and entered Yongzhou in a dignified manner via the Qishan Road.

The vanguard general Hua Xiong successfully occupied Jieting, but until this time, the forces in Chang'an City were still plotting how to get rid of Dong Zhuo.

When Hua Xiong's army appeared in Chencang, the three forces of Li Jue, Guo Si, Dong Min and Xu Rong were still fighting.

After receiving the news that Dong Huangjun's forward had reached Chencang, the forces in Guanzhong were completely paralyzed.

Even Dong Min, who was not very good at using his brain, realized that there might be something fishy about Dong Zhuo's death. Otherwise, how could Jia Xu come so quickly?

Thief, you must have harmed King Liang!

So what if I just know?

The King of Liang was already in disgrace, so naturally he could not integrate the power of the Liangzhou Army to fight against Jia Xu.

Dong Min also knew very well that it was impossible for Dong Huang to give up his great foundation to his good uncle who only brought 30,000 people when he had an absolute advantage!

Not to mention Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.

The Son of Heaven is the one who has strong soldiers and horses.

Although Dong Min has never heard this sentence, he still understands the truth.

At that moment, Dong Min did not hesitate and led the people directly across the river and back to the Jizhou base camp via Bingzhou.

From Dong Min's point of view, I am Dong Huang's biological uncle no matter what. I have withdrawn from the competition now, so you can't come back and make things difficult for me.

Dong Min's plan is not particularly smart, but it is indeed a good choice.

Although Dong Min left, Li Jue and Guo Si were not happy at all.

Not only them, but their war agents Li Shi and Guo Zhong were also dumbfounded - we had obviously made plans, but why did things turn out like this?

Why not play our cards as we envisioned.

The two of them were in chaos.

Li Ru, who was hiding in Xiwu, even smiled bitterly, gave Fu Shou the poisonous wine he had prepared long ago, and forced Han Emperor Liu Xie to issue an edict.

The general content of the edict is: Dong Min, Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng and others allied with the adulteress Fu Shou, defiled the harem, murdered Dong Zhuo, the king of Liang, and took the opportunity to coerce the emperor and control the court. They had evil intentions. The emperor issued an edict. Invite the King of Chengdu to come to Beijing to quell the rebellion.

This edict, which was written by Liu Xie, was written in many copies and copied all over the world. The most important thing was that it must be delivered to Jia Xu and Dong Huang.

When Jia Xu got the edict, he just chuckled: "You are smart, but there are merits."

The reason why Jia Xu said this was because Li Ru's operation would undoubtedly save Dong Huang a lot of moral trouble and make Jia Xu's march justifiable.

However, Li Ru's doing so also brought about a bad consequence, that is, Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were forced into desperation were likely to fight to the end.

"Just a few twists and turns."

Jia Xu didn't really care.

It doesn't matter whether they fight a battle or not. Only when the battle hurts will the arrogant and powerful generals who were originally affiliated with Dong Zhuo become obedient and truly incorporated into Dong Huang's system and become sharp blades in Dong Huang's hands.

Things were just as Jia Xu expected. After receiving the edict that Li Ru forced the young emperor to issue, Li Jue and Guo Si understood that they had no way out.

Even if it was for the sake of legitimacy, Dong Huang still needed someone with enough status to take the blame for killing Dong Zhuo, so as to gain moral blessing and the support of the Liangzhou army.

When Dong Min is excluded as a blood relative, Li Jue and Guo Si are naturally the best choices to offer sacrifices to the flag.

"The only thing we can do is fight to the death!"

Li Jue and Guo Si became ruthless and ordered Li Jue's nephew Li Li to guard Tongguan. Guo Si's nephew Hu Feng stormed Xiwu. They also used their clan generals to guard Chang'an and guard the officials. The two of them, together with Li Shi and Li Shi, Guo Zhong and others personally led an army to fight against Hua Xiong.

In order to quickly decide the battle, Guo Bang, who relied on his bravery, made an appointment with Hua Xiong to decide the outcome. Hua Xiong, who was also eager to achieve success and even more confident in his martial arts, joined the army and went to war.

In history, Guo Si was a fierce general who could challenge Lu Bu in a duel without dying, while Hua Xiong was also a brave general known for his bravery. The two of them went back and forth, and the fight was lively.

But in the end, Hua Xiong was more skilled and gradually gained the upper hand.

However, at this moment, Li Jue and Guo Si suddenly shot an arrow from the army and hit Hua Xiong's hand.

Hua Xiong grunted, but without using any strength, Guo Bang knocked down his long knife, and was about to be stabbed by Guo Bang's spear.

But Guo Zhong is not the only one who is good at archery.

Seeing that Hua Xiong was injured in a sneak attack, Hua Xiong's deputy general Pang De was furious. He raised his hand and shot Guo Si in the forehead. Guo Si fell off his horse in pain.

Pang De immediately rushed out, and several generals also came out of Li Jue and Guo Si's camp. In the end, although Pang De killed three or four people in a row, Guo Bang was also rescued, and Pang De could only protect Hua Xiong, who was injured again, back to the camp.

"I'm so angry!"

Hua Xiong, who finally became a vanguard general but was injured again, screamed angrily.

As a pioneer general, he couldn't remember how many times he was injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious this time and he could fight again, otherwise Hua Xiong would have had his hair blown.

[I heard that the lord's adopted daughter, Princess Yulan, is good at fortune telling. I have to take the time to ask her to help me see if I am not suitable to be a pioneer! 】

Hua Xiong couldn't help but be suspicious.

With the support of Li Jue and Guo Si, Hua Xiong's military strength will naturally not be able to capture Chencang, but Li Jue and Guo Si will not be able to defeat Hua Xiong and Pang De for a while.

Li Shi and Guo Zhong, the two war agents who once guided the country, did come up with various ideas, but strategies without strength are just ridiculous.

With the arrival of the main force from Liangzhou led by Huang Zhong, Li Jue and Guo Si had already realized that the situation was not good.

Just when they were hesitating whether to continue fighting, three pieces of bad news made them leave in a hurry.

The first bad news was that Yang Qiu, the prefect of Anding recommended by Dong Huang, chose to surrender the entire county to Huang Zhong and led his army into Zuo Fengyi.

The second bad news is that Xu Huang's troops entered Yongzhou via Baoxie Road, and cooperated with Xu Rong's troops in Xiwu to defeat Hu Feng.

The third bad news is that Duan Xuan, the governor of Gao Shun, and others stormed Tongguan.

The successive bad news made them understand that if they didn't leave, they would be dumped.

"Father, in such a situation, I am afraid that Chang'an cannot be defended. It is better to plunder Chang'an's goods and officials and join the state to join forces with Dong Min and Dong Yue. At that time, we only need to insist that Dong Huang assassinated Dong Zhuo and want to take the opportunity to annex Dong Zhuo. To kill all Dong Zhuo’s old generals, I believe Dong Min and Dong Yue will also have to think twice.”

Li Shi suggested.

Guo Zhong also persuaded Guo Si for the same reason.

At this point, Li Jue and Guo Si had no choice but to follow their advice.

As a result, Jia Xu successfully took over the ravaged Chang'an City.

At this point, Chang'an and Luoyang were connected with Jingzhou and Yizhou, and Dong Huang also completed the hidden mission of occupying six famous cities.

While Jia Xu informed Dong Huang of the good news, he also sent Zhang He and others, who had carried out a wave of armed marches but achieved little success, to pursue Li Jue and Guo Si, striving to enter Bingzhou and force Dong Yue to surrender.

At the same time, Jia Xu also ordered Gao Shun's troops to march eastward to attack Yanzhou, and Xu Huang's troops to attack Yuzhou, hoping to join Dong Huang's army on the south bank of the Yellow River as soon as possible.

The pressure suddenly came to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had not yet recovered from the happy aftertaste of annexing the rest of Niu Fu. In the blink of an eye, Dong Huang's three-pronged army had surrounded his Yanzhou.

This is like the poor fiancé who had just been playing with his fiancée, and then was accused of rape. Cao Cao was completely confused.

What makes Cao Cao even more unexpected is that the only person willing to share the pressure for him at this time is his historical enemy Ma Chao and Ma Meng Qi.

Because of the distance, Ma Chao was a little late when he heard the news spread by Li Shi, Guo Zhong and others that Dong Zhuo had been killed by Ma Teng. But as soon as he got the news, he knew something was wrong. He was worried that Dong Huang would liquidate him. Not caring about the safety of my old father and his family, he resolutely raised a flag of rebellion.
